If 2pac was alive, what would his album sales be at?

For discussion of mainstream Hip Hop or Urban music.

If 2pac was alive, what would his album sales be at?

Postby LilWayne4Life » Dec 12th, '09, 15:10

hes dead and his album sales surpassed 75 million,

If he was alive and still putting out albums every other year, where do you think he would be at?

My opinion - 150 million.

Don't get me wrong, PAC is my biggest influence but if he was alive his sales would be the same as of now or less. He's sold as many as he has cuz he's dead, truth. Ex....if em died tomorrow, in a few years he'd prolly double his sales, and relapse 2 completed would out sell every album for years to come. But that's my opinion

If he had died all of that unreleased material wouldn't of been all released at all. So all of those posthumous albums would of never been released, only some of those songs. So he would of had to carry on with his career and make the most out of it with new material. My guess would be that by now he would not have 75 million but over 35 million.

What was his sales before he died? Double that and that would probably be a more accurate estimate of what he'd probably sell if he was still alive. People always get more famous after they die, anyway.

I'm glad he isn't alive.

If he was alive, we might have turned commercial or put out an exceptionally horrible album, which would make him lose respect from the masses/streets. :n:

So because he is deceased, we've yet to hear "Whack 2Pac".
